PacketTrap Perspective network management - now support VMware Virtualization
I attended a webinar put on by PacketTrap network management this week. I was interested to see one of their latest features of their network management system - Perspective. The new feature is VMware Virtualization support.
It works like this - PacketTrap uses SNMP to talk to each VMware ESX host system, pulling back statistics on host and guest performance. Perspective collects the following data:
- Hostname
- IP address
- Operating System
- Application Statistics
- Services Running
- CPU
- VM Memory
- Disk Usage by VM
You can download a free evaluation of PacketTrap Perspective and their virtualization features at their website.
